In summary, you invested $180 in a company that resells T-shirts for a profit. Each shirt is sold for $10.25 and if you sell 26 shirts, your profit will be $86.50. Your computation is correct for this scenario.

You invest in a company that purchases T-shirts and resells them for a profit. You invest 180 dollars and sell each shirt for 10.25. If you sell 26 shirts, what is your profit?

My Work:

Let P = profit

P = (price of each shirt)(total amount of shirts sold) - (amount invested)

P = (10.25)(26) - 180

P = 266.50 - 180

P = $86.50

Is this correct?
